Just this week a woman who had offered hospitality from to Timothy found my blog and wrote to ask about him. I was able to thank her for the tremendous blessing she was to him. It would be a huge blessing to Christian families for young men in the military to live amongst Christians rather than the barbarians in the barracks. It really could have eternal consequences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413838626377092356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29057870.post-7049233107335824352008-01-25T07:19:00.000-06:002008-01-25T07:19:00.000-06:00You've given me something to think about.You've given me something to think about.Tracy Batchelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137536258043194796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29057870.post-34061977700707463632008-01-24T06:12:00.000-06:002008-01-24T06:12:00.000-06:00I, too, have only been willing to open my home for...I, too, have only been willing to open my home for family members, but it is clear that there are ways for the economy to function efficiently without the government stepping in to take care of every little hang-nail of its citizens.Dana in Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973506073487871220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29057870.post-39392680580875053142008-01-24T00:00:00.000-06:002008-01-24T00:00:00.000-06:00Can we come live with you? :)Just kidding.It is ha...Can we come live with you? :)<BR/><BR/>Just kidding.<BR/><BR/>It is hard for me to imagine pulling something like that off with our young family, but I know my parents have found opening their home to be a very effective way to introduce foreign exchange students to Christ!Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29057870.post-17417477078155484532008-01-23T21:46:00.000-06:002008-01-23T21:46:00.000-06:00Laura, I just finished reading a book called _Maki...Laura, I just finished reading a book called _Making Room_ which was about radical hospitality, tracing that practice through history and talking about communities which practice it today. The book had issues (like advocating a role for government social programs, ack!), but I thought the idea of how sacrificial true hospitality ought to be was a good. I am far from being able to practice it that way, too, and there are many questions for me about how it could work when we have such large responsibilities for our own families, but I do think it bears some consideration.<BR/><BR/>What a good point to bring up in light of this discussion!Carmon Friedrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615615909168492292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29057870.post-70746095612892668742008-01-23T15:13:00.000-06:002008-01-23T15:13:00.000-06:00Ohhh, I can relate to your yearning to be wholly l...Ohhh, I can relate to your yearning to be wholly living out that kind of love, like Jesus.
